Glacier Tarn

Glacier National ParkMontana, USA

When I discovered that these lovely blue-green pools existed, I knew immediately that I had to go there, but it was far from easy. The hike was gruelingly epic. In fact, if you are looking closely enough, you can probably see the slide tracks through the snow in the distance. I came up over that snowy ridge from the far side and inelegantly slid my way down over the snowpack. That was quite a rush! Though I did end up with snow up my shirt, which, as I’m sure you can imagine, wasn’t very pleasant. What I found when I got here was more than worth all that.

Words fall short of describing this place. I can think of only one that is up to the task: Sublime.
